This happens to me a lot. I don't get irritable or have negative mania but I can't sit still, have to be doing something, I talk louder and much more. Have to be social. Totally out of character for me and gets on peoples nerves.

When I notice I am like this I can either find something to do by myself and stay quiet or if I am in a social situation and notice I am talking over people I can force myself to meditate and breath and calm down. As long as I am aware of it I have learned how to use my breathing to calm down. The hard part is being aware of it when I get like that. I forget in about ten minutes and then I am annoying again.
